I had a fireman tell me once that a quart of ETOH (ethanol alcohol) evaporated in a space the size of a average car trunk has the explosive (not combustible, but EXPLOSIVE) power of one stick of dynamite.
In other words ... BOOM.
It burns in a frightening way also. I saw a video once of a fire in a race car pit (where alcohol fuel was being used). You couldn't even see the flames. They were so light blue and hot. At first you wondered what you were seeing: people writhing around on the ground, some running and waving their arms like they were being attacked by wasps; but you knew the horror when the viewer saw the skin peeling off of the pit crew. It was pretty horrible.
It's nothing to fuck around with. Treat it with respect and you'll be fine. Get too comfortable and careless you may become flamboyant, and not in a good way.
